Full recovery has occurred when the brain has adjusted to the removal of the alcohol. This involves the rebuilding of chemical receptors that were suppressed by the drug. Marijuana acts on some of the same neural pathways as alcohol, and will prevent that from occurring, retaining the physical conditions of addiction and making both depression and relapse quite likely.
As for suppressing the symptoms of acute relapse -- the first 96 hours -- cannabis is of little use. Alcohol withdrawal can result in acute seizures, blood pressure spike, and other life-threatening effects, and should be carried out in a medical setting, or at least under the direct supervision of someone skilled in dealing with the symptoms medically.
